Aba Austin

Absolutely delicious. Every time we visit Austin we also stop Aba! We have had so many different plates its hard to suggest but the falafels are a must try! There is a wait if you don't have resos so call ahead otherwise you may be waiting at most an hour. The place is spacious and beautiful. The new additional outside bar should help keep you cool and hydrated.

Visited on a weekday, its crowded and reservation are must recommended before visit.
Ambience is good,staffs are courteous and hear the menu. Loved the food over here. Green falafel,Grilled chicken was good.
Recommended date night option in Austin

I recommend making a reservation but they have outdoor bar seating available for walk ins. Ambiance is amazing and even on the hottest day, eating outside isn’t a problem with the misting fans. Our server/bartender Nick was fantastic.

My partner and I went here for a celebration! The area itself is so cute and the inside decor is incredible. It felt very upscale but cozy at the same time. All of the food items were 10/10 and pretty large portions. We ordered two appetizers and an entree and had leftovers, so the portions we’re much larger than we anticipated. The service was great, we will absolutely be back to try everything else on the menu (:

Atmosphere is what this is all about.

For temps above 90 degrees get the “breezeway” seating if you can! It is possibly, accidentally, the coolest and most comfortable spots to brunch outdoors in Austin. Excellent people watching.
(Which is mostly what your money buys you here. )

I would avoid main patio at all cost during summer - can you imagine booking this 3 months out (it can be tough to get a reservation here) and then being roasted alive?

You get decent quality on food and food presentation.

Middle level service from our waitress but the AGM (who was in from the Miami location) was phenomenal.

The food was fine:
The way it was prepared was extremely well done. The spring veggie humus is a master class in technique. That being said I am not sure the additional hard work made the impact one would hope. The efforts may not be worth the outcome. The outcome is wonderful. Just not sure the added techniques added value beyond the fact that certain people can identify technique was applied.

If you want atmosphere this has it. You will feel healthy and full. Everything will be tasty and interesting.

Great experience here at Aba! I’ve been trying to come here multiple times before and due to other reasons I’ve had to cancel my reservations but last night finally made it to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had a fantastic time, the food was delicious and the drinks just perfect. Beyond that, service was outstanding, from the hostess to the waiters. Everyone was super friendly and approachable, even remember my wife’s birthday and gave us a cake. I’ve been to places where they forgot I put we were celebrating a birthday, so props to them. The atmosphere is perfect, dim lights, very well decorated inside and plenty of space outside as well.

One of the best new restaurants I've visited in a long time. Full flavor, unique options and very well made. The garlic hummus and falafel won the night. Excellent cocktails and the ambience was incredible. Elegant and relaxing. Highly recommend. Make reservations or plan to get on a list and do something for a bit.
